History WesternAnimation / MarvelsSpiderMan

** The Jackal is a mixture of several notable figures
*** He is named Raymond Warren, Peter's high school science teacher and brother of Miles Warren
*** Like Miles Warren, he has used the identity of The Jackal and he is a professor
*** As Gwen Stacy's uncle, he takes the place of Arthur Stacy, brother of Gwen's father, George Stacy
, and the extracurricular activities of the other.
** In "Superior", Venom takes the role of Green Goblin as [[spoiler: the villain who makes Ock realise that his tactical approach to being Spider-Man is actually less effective than Peter's heart]].

* DestructiveSavior: Occasionally, but Peter is in particular top form in episode 8, ''"Bring on the Bad Guys Part 1"'' where his already tarnished reputation takes furthers blows from him rather recklessly demolishing scenes of crimes flinging villains Rhino and Panda-Mania around. He destroys both a bank and a subway tunnel, leaving civilians running in fear begging him not to hurt them.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Goblin King, [[spoiler: Adrian Toomes]] criticizes [[spoiler: Norman Osborn]] for stealing other people's work and passing it off as his own, while he and his army are using Goblin tech stolen from Harry Osborn.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Season two's "Rise Above It All" initially feels like filler that only introduces the Wake Riders and brings back Vulture as an antagonist. [[spoiler: His return to crime allows him to build his empire as the Goblin King, and he even recruits the Wake Riders as part of the Goblin Nation, the final major threat of season two]].

** Oliver Osnick was Spider-Man's number one fan in the comics and become the hero Steel Spider. Here, [[spoiler: he becomes a member of the Sinister Five due to mind control]].

** The series itself is this for ''ComicBook/DanSlottSpiderMan''. In addition to the presence of Clash, Horizon Labs is reimagined as a special high school for geniuses, Max Modell (Horizon's founder) is a supporting character as the school's principal, and Peter's improved Spider-Man costume is a version of the Spider Armor Mk IV from ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel''. Additionally, season 1 adapted ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland'' and season 2's confirmed to adapt ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan''.

* CheapCostume: Peter is shown fighting the Scorpion in a very basic outfit consisting of a balaclava, goggles and street clothes, which bears a resemblance to his costume in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''.

** There's only one Professor Warren, who has the name of one of the comics' Warren brothers, and the extracurricular activities of the other.

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: Pretty much every background and vehicle in the show are obvious CGI.

* ConspicuousCG: Pretty much every background and vehicle in the show are very obvious looking and gaudy CGI.

** Spencer Smythe ask Raymon Warren on how he [[spoiler:got out of prison]] with Raymon not giving him an answer which brings a bit implications [[spoiler:considering Raymon did not recognize Smythe and says he did not left prison]].

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Peter gets a bout of this after Gwen gets her spider-powers and becomes the darling of New York, where she's running around without a secret identity. t

** In a moment of uncharacteristic kindness, the Jackal actually saves Gwen's life in the third episode, though Spider-Man saw it as him taking a hostage. [[spoiler: It later turns out this is because she's his niece.]]
** Spencer Smythe ask Raymon Warren on how he [[spoiler:got out of prison]] with Raymon not giving him an answer which brings a bit implications [[spoiler:onsidering Raymon did not recognize Smythe and says he did not left prison]]

* BittersweetEnding: The season 2 finale, The Goblin War, follows this. [[spoiler: While the city is saved and Adrian Toomes is defeated, Otto Octavius, who became a legitimate hero at this point, sacrifices his life using the Neuro Cortex in order to stop him .]]

* Main/Hypocrite: The Goblin King, [[spoiler: Adrian Toomes]] criticizes [[spoiler: Norman Osborn]] for stealing other people's work and passing it off as his own, while he and his army are using Goblin tech stolen from Harry Osborn.

* BittersweetEnding: Appears to happen OncePerEpisode. Spider-Man always manages to save the day but something always seems to go wrong in the end.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Peter gets a bout of this after Gwen gets her spider-powers and becomes the darling of New York, where she's running around without a secret identity.

* PoorCommunicationKills: The last half of season two is full of this [[spoiler: after Otto gives Peter his body back]]. Max refuses to accept anyone of Peter's attempts at making an apology, Gwen and Anya refuse to even talk to him, and Harry repeatedly questions why Peter would be with Otto after all he's done, understandably so. The only ones willing to put logic and reason over personal grudges are Peter and Ms. Marvel; Peter is able to see that Otto honestly wants to make a change for the better dispite having every reason to hate him, while Ms. Marvel just hand-waves it on the account that she has [[UnfazedEveryman seen much stranger things]].

* CentralTheme: The show is focused on the benefits of science, as well as the dangers of keeping secrets and holding grudges. The Goblin Wars story arc focuses [[PoorCommunicationKills how lack of communication prevents issues from being solved]].

* CentralTheme: The show is focused on the benefits of science, as well as the dangers of keeping secrets and holding grudges.

The show presents a back-to-basics approach following ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'', focusing on the early days of Peter Parker's career as Spider-Man, while having to balance his superhero life with school ancod his personal relationships, while battling his rogues gallery for the first time.

** Spider-man KOs Molten Man with a [[Franchise/StreetFighter Shoryuken]].

* SiblingSwitchSquick: If you thought [[spoiler: comicbook Jackal's infatuation with his student Gwen]] was creepy in the comics before, wait until you learn [[spoiler: there's a universe where they're uncle and neice]].

** Alistair Smythe, the Shocker, and the Rhino are portrayed as teenagers, rather than adults, as they traditionally are. Additionally, Doctor Octopus is only slightly older than Peter, as opposed to being middle-aged like in the comics. Clash is also an arguable example as canonically, he is indeed around Peter's age, only here, we're meeting him when Peter just became Spidey rather than meeting him after Peter's been Spidey for years.

* LostInImitation: The show's version of the Venom Symbiote is more or less the familiar JekyllAndHyde take on the concept, featured in ''Film/SpiderMan3'' and the Fox animated series. This is needless to say not how the costume worked originally in the comics, where the Venom suit was alive and had a possessive love and desire for Spider-Man and would creep out Peter with its possessiveness and desire to control his body permanently.
